I have fonts.googleapis blocked in my hosts file, loads fine for me in Firefox. Maybe it's your browser? Or the method of blocking?

I checked that last night, actually. A traceroute showed packets winding their way through comcast's network, hitting google's, and then vanishing. Whatever the problem was, it's been fixed. The moral of the story is to never rely on third-party assets, especially for synchronous stylesheets that block the browser from even parsing the rest of the page.
